7 Chakra Juices and Smoothies

Juices and Smoothies for the 7 Chakras

Chakra means wheel or vortex in the ancient Sanskrit language. It's used in energy medicine and energy anatomy to identify spinning vortexes that connect our bodies to the energy of the universe.

The 7 Chakras

Each chakra sends out great numbers of energy meridians called nadis, and each has a unique energetic signature and vibration. The most commonly-used chakras in the East are the 7 chakras of the body, as well as the 8th chakra — the energy body or electromagnetic field that surrounds us.

Each of the energy centers has corresponding organs, color, element, spiritual theme, gemstones and foods. Although some parallels exist with the 5-element theory, the chakra system takes quite a different approach.

These juices don't contain random gatherings from the plant kingdom — rather, they're ingredients that can harmonize together to create a whole. They offer a rainbow spectrum of phytonutrients. You can make these fruit combinations into smoothies if you own a Vitamix, Blendtec or another high power blender, but otherwise, try juicing.

You don’t have to use all the ingredients together. Feel free to experiment with different pairings, amounts and combinations of flavors. We haven’t included specific quantities — that's up to you and your personal taste and preferences.
